  2. Re:Kill the entire H1B program on Disney Replaces Longtime IT Staff With H-1B Workers · · Score: 1

    As a self proclaimed moderate conservative, I'm generally anti-H1B, and for the record, Fuck Disney for doing this. I haven't lost my job to anyone. I'm also not anti-immigration, just in favor of everyone following the legal process. So, maybe we could stop throwing all of the left and all of the right in just two buckets. There are multiple issues, and multiple points of view.

    Conservatives are happy to kill innocents to push their personal opinion as law

    Um, no that's incorrect. I personally got my private license back in the mid-80s, and knew quite a few private plane owners. None of whom were one percenters.

    You'd still need instruments, even if remotely piloted.

    Yikes. Turn based is one of the reasons I like the Civ series games. When my wife walks in during the middle of the game, I don't have to worry that I'm going to lose my place, or the game in order to respond and avoid spouse agro.

    True, but then, they wouldn't need convincing, would they?

    The government would hire consultants, an advertising company, have the EPA do an environmental impact study, and probably outsource the work, spending $100B convincing them.

    Nixon lied to the world about others who would challenge his running for president. Using the same methods as Carly Fiorina; who got fired at HP for doing the same thing. The only thing these two people haven't done is write a diary on the topic.

    What??? Pullllleeese link to where Carly did anything similar to Nixon. Simple lying doesn't count. What "methods" are you claiming? Did she hire a goon squad to break into the competition's offices? I'm not asking you to like what she did or her politics, but let's get a grip on reality here.

  18. Age And Opinions on Except For Millennials, Most Americans Dislike Snowden · · Score: 1

    "The broad support for Edward Snowden among Millennials around the world should be a message to democratic countries that change is coming," says Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union.

    The nimrod from the ACLU doesn't take into account that peoples opinions change as they get older, and typically becoming more conservative.

    Yeah, because Iran is working on nukes for energy purposes, and sending it's navy to Yemen for humanitarian aide. I'm sure it's all propaganda.

    It's not about a false dichotomy. It's about utilization of resources and priorities.

  21. Life? Or Intelligent Life? on NASA Teams Scientific Experts To Find Life On Exoplanets · · Score: 1

    So, if we're looking for intelligent life, I'd argue that we won't find it. Why on earth (yes, I said it) would intelligent life want to be found by us? I think they would do everything they could to prevent us from finding them, and maybe just monitor us, at least until we get our collective shit in one pile. All this becomes moot if they decided they wanted to overthrow the planet. But, suppose they had not already found us, and were hostile...now you've really screwed the pooch, assuming they've found some way to break the laws of physics as we currently understand them.

    If we determine a planet had low level life, what good does it do us? We can't go there and do anything with it. We can't learn anything from it.

    So, if you want to look at this from a purely research oriented posture, fine it might be nice to know life exists somewhere else. But, there's no ROI on this project, and in fact there's money that would be better spent elsewhere IMNSHO.

    This is why I'm against electronic gambling.

    It's not any safer to utilize non-electronic. In spite of all the cameras at the casinos in Vegas, I've personally witnessed a couple of people get away with cheating. It can be trivial to do things right in front of a camera that won't be noticed.
